Definitions
- the invention is concerned with the detection of analytes in a measurement sample.
- proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and their derivatives as well as molecules that can bind to them are suitable as analytes.
- Any sample which is suspected to contain at least a part of the analytes sought can be used as a measurement sample. It can be z. B. a blood sample, a serum sample and / or a urine sample, or generally any solution that contains the analyte sought.
- binding assays are known for the detection of analytes in a measurement sample. Such binding assays generally detect analytes through their specific interaction with receptors. Examples of such interactions are protein / protein interactions that occur, for example, during gene expression, enzyme / substrate or enzyme / effector interactions that occur in metabolism, or protein / DNA or protein / RNA interactions during gene expression . A systematic understanding of these molecular interactions is a basic requirement for the understanding of all biological processes in both normal and diseased cells.
- Binding assays can also be used to detect nucleic acids. DNA / DNA interactions play a major role in that
- Measurement samples are often to be examined for a large number of analytes. The problem arises here that large amounts of data are obtained during the evaluation. In order to be successful in practice, however, the evaluation must be possible within a reasonable time. Known analysis systems have proven to be only partially satisfactory here.
- the thickness of the spacer layer is a decisive parameter for the function of this known sensor. This must be selected in a predetermined range, which depends on the wavelength of the light irradiated during the later evaluation. In particular, it must be ensured that the spacer layer has a uniform thickness over its entire extent. This requires a high level of manufacturing effort.
- reading devices are already proposed for the optical evaluation of this sensor, which allow the handling of large amounts of data, including CD-ROM reading devices.
- the object of the invention is to show a way, with little effort, not only with regard to the data-technical evaluation, but also with regard to the provision of the sensor, a measurement sample can be examined for a large abundance of analytes.
- the invention is based on a first aspect of a method for the detection of analytes in a measurement sample, in which analyte-specific binders are immobilized in a plurality of detection fields on a flat substrate on one of its flat sides, then the measurement sample in contact with is brought to the detection fields and then the presence or / and the amount of the analytes to be detected is determined by optical evaluation of the detection fields.
- a substrate made of an optically transparent material is used, that the detection fields are along at least one spiral line and / or a plurality concentric circular lines are arranged distributed on the substrate and that after the measurement sample has been brought into contact with the detection fields, an optical reflector is arranged adjacent to the flat side of the substrate carrying the detection fields.
- the detection fields can be formed directly on the substrate. It may be advisable to pretreat the substrate surface chemically first or to effect a surface modification by pretreatment with an oxygen plasma. This modification can make it easier to apply the binders to form the analyte-specific detection fields.
- no spacer layer with a precisely adhered-to thickness has to be applied to the substrate below the binder, as is absolutely necessary in the sensor known from Schaikhammer. In this respect, there is a reduced manufacturing outlay.
- the reflector is required for the optical evaluation of the assay. It can be formed by a reflection layer, which is applied to the substrate above the detection fields after the molecular biological process steps have been completed. Due to their good reflectivity, metallic materials are recommended. In principle, other materials are also conceivable, such as dielectrics.
- the reflection layer is preferably formed from aluminum. Silver is also conceivable as a material for the reflection layer.
- the reflection layer can be formed by chemical vapor deposition. However, it is also possible to glue a prefabricated reflective film onto the substrate.
- the reflector is arranged at a distance from the substrate, that is, it is not applied directly to the substrate.
- the reflector can be formed by a mirror plate which is attached to an evaluation device which is used to evaluate the assay.
- the optical transparency of the substrate, together with the reflector arranged on the side of the detection fields remote from the substrate, makes it possible to use the hardware of commercially available CD readers for the optical evaluation of this molecular biological sensor according to the invention.
- a spiral arrangement of the detection fields and when the reflector is designed as a reflection layer applied directly to the substrate such commercially available CD readers can be modified with comparatively little effort so that the desired information can be filtered out of the returning light of the laser beam scanning the detection fields. It is conceivable that only software modifications are required for this.
- the technology of such CD readers can basically be used, provided the design and software requirements for a jump of the laser beam scanning the detection fields from circular line to circular line are created.
- a CD-ROM reader is particularly suitable as it allows the user to define the evaluation software himself when embedded in a computer architecture.
- the evaluation of the detection fields can deliver quantitative as well as qualitative statements depending on the selected evaluation algorithm.
- the optical properties, in particular the absorption behavior, of detection fields in which analytes have attached to receptors can be made distinguishable from detection fields to whose receptors no analytes have attached.
- absorption measurements it is possible, for example, via absorption measurements to identify those detection fields which carry analytes after the molecular biological process steps have been completed. This would initially be a purely qualitative statement. If one also wants to make quantitative statements, it is conceivable to scan the detection fields several times and a threshold that is used in the evaluation as a decision boundary between The presence and absence of analytes is taken to change step by step from scan to scan. In this way, statements can also be made about the amount of analytes stuck in the individual detection fields.
- a connected computer enables the user to further process the amount of data supplied by the drive, and the result of this further processing can be stored on external data memories, for example in databases To create patients.
- Conventional standard storage such as hard disks or floppy disks can be used for data storage. With computer help, a quick evaluation of the data flood of the drive is possible.
- the capacity of conventional computers and storage systems is usually sufficient to enable complex genetic analyzes to be carried out on them.
- the detection fields are preferably even narrower than 1 ⁇ m radially, although it may be expedient to design them with a radial width which essentially corresponds to the width of the data depressions (so-called pits) embossed in conventional CDs, namely approximately 0.5 ⁇ m. Likewise, it is advisable to adjoin one another along the spiral line or a circular line Arrange detection fields at a distance from each other to enable their individual resolution by the evaluation system.
- the detection fields can be designed as essentially square or circular areas. It is also conceivable to make them elongated in accordance with the shape of the data pits of conventional CDs in the circumferential direction, that is to say in the spiral or circular line direction, for example oval or rectangular.
- microprint techniques In order to apply the binders to the substrate under the dimensional boundary conditions outlined above for the detection fields, microprint techniques, ink jet techniques or electrospray techniques are particularly suitable.
- microprinting techniques To read about microprinting techniques, reference is made to: “Microfabrication, Microstructures and Microsystems” by Dong Qin et al., “Topics In Current Chemistry", Volume 1 94, 1 998, page 6ff., Springer-Verlag.
- inkjet techniques reference is made to: "A new device for multifunctional dosage of liquids by a free jet” by N. Hey et al., Proceedings IEEE-Mems 1 998, CH 361 76.
- Electrospray techniques in particular nanoelectrospray techniques, can be found, for example, in "Analytical Properties of the Nanoelectrospray Ion Source "by M. Wilm and M. Mann in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 68, No. 1, 1. January 1,996, pages 1-8, and in “Electrospray and Taylor-Cone theory, Dole's beam of macromolecuies at last?" by M. Wilm, M. Mann in International Journal of Mass Spectrometry and Ion Processes 1 36 (1 994), pages 1 67-1 80. These techniques make it possible to specifically provide the detection fields with high spatial resolution with predetermined binders. The binders can be applied to the outer surface of the substrate wafer.
- nucleic acids and / or proteins are particularly suitable as analytes.
- the method according to the invention can thus be used to investigate protein / protein interactions, such as occur, for example, during gene expression or as cell signals, enzyme / substrate or enzyme / effect interactions during metabolism or protein / DNA or protein / RNA interactions to be detected during gene expression.
- DNA / DNA interactions can also be detected, as is particularly important for gene identification and mapping of genes, for examining and quantifying gene expression and for molecular diagnosis and / or therapy of diseases.
- RNA aptamers or small chemical compounds
- Natural and synthetic effector molecules therefore often make it possible to manipulate biochemical processes by modulating or intervening in macromolecular interactions.
- the substrate material is preferably a non-porous material.
- a non-porous support enables the defined application of even small detection fields, so that miniaturization of the test format or the application of a large number of detection fields is possible.
- Suitable materials for the disk-shaped substrate are e.g. B. plastics and glass.
- it is preferably a focusing material, in particular polycarbonate.
- the binders can be immobilized in the detection fields by methods known per se. The immobilization strategy depends on the type of molecule to be immobilized and the particular substrate.
- binders can be bound directly to a matrix via a chemical reaction, for example via a special amino acid in a protein (in particular cysteine or lysine) or via the phosphate backbone of a DNA.
- the immobilization can also be carried out with bifunctional chemical crosslinkers or via a specific, high-affinity interaction, such as the biotin / streptavidin interaction.
- the analyte-specific binders can also be adsorbed on the surface, although a covalent bond is preferred. Substances and / or molecules which are able to bind the desired analyte specifically, in particular with high affinity, are applied as binders to the surface of the substrate.
- a common method for analyzing molecular interactions consists of several steps: A first interaction partner, e.g. B. an analyte-specific binder or receptor is covalently or adsorptively linked to a solid support.
- a second interaction partner e.g. B. the analyte
- the presence of the analyte (or the absence of it in competitive test formats) is then demonstrated at the location where the receptor is immobilized.
- the interaction between the two binding partners is preferably carried out under conditions in which both reactants are in a native, active configuration, preferably in a liquid reaction. Contacting under one is particularly preferred approximately physiological pH and carried out under ionic conditions.
- detection takes place by detecting a change in the optical properties of the detection fields.
- the optical change of the detection fields can e.g. B. by isotopes, enzymes, fluorochromes, dyes, metal colloids, beads or the like, which serve as a marker system.
- One of the interaction partners i.e. H. the receptor or the analyte, directly or indirectly labeled.
- proteins or nucleic acids are preferably derivatized with a biotin unit, after which recognition by streptavidin conjugates is possible.
- the detection method preferably results in the precipitation of a dye or the localization of a fluorochrome at the site of the molecular interaction or in the addition of metal clusters with strong electromagnetic interaction.
- Latex beads or plastic beads can also be attached. Due to their refractive behavior and their curved (spherical) surface, they cause a scattering of the incident reading light, which can be detected as a reduction in intensity. With suitable dimensioning of the beads, effects of destructive interference can be achieved.
- the interacting molecules that is to say the receptor and the analyte, can either be detected directly via their specific binding sites or indirectly by providing them with a marker which contains a known specific binding site.
- markers are epitopes for which monoclonal antibodies are known or a biotin group which is capable of binding to streptavidin.
- the direct specific binding of an antibody to the analyte is also possible.
- Antibodies and streptavidin are preferably conjugated with an enzyme to enable the detection fields to be evaluated. Examples of preferred Enzymes are horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase and /? - galactosidase.
- Suitable substrates for the above enzymes which enable an optical evaluation, for horseradish peroxidase are, for example, diaminobenzidine (DAB), which gives a brown product which is insoluble in water and ethanol, DAB + metal, which gives a gray to black insoluble product in the presence of cobalt or nickel , Chloronaphtol, which gives a blue-black, water-soluble color, Aminoethylcarbazol, which gives a red, water-insoluble product.
- DAB diaminobenzidine
- DAB + metal which gives a gray to black insoluble product in the presence of cobalt or nickel
- Chloronaphtol which gives a blue-black, water-soluble color
- Aminoethylcarbazol which gives a red, water-insoluble product.
- Preferred substrates for alkaline phosphatase are naphthol-AS-BI-phosphate / New-Fuchsin, which gives a red, insoluble product, bromochloroindolyl phosphate / nitrotetrazolium, which gives a black-violet precipitate, and for? -Galactosidase bromochloroindolyl-bD-galactopyranosite (BCIG ), which results in an insoluble blue product.
- BCIG bromochloroindolyl-bD-galactopyranosite
- Another possibility for the detection of the interaction sites is the staining technique with gold colloids, whereby other types of metal clusters or beads can also be used.
- Silver particles are particularly advantageous here because they can increase the sensitivity of an optical detection system due to nonlinear optical effects near a metal surface of the reflection layer.
- dyes in particular colored latex particles. Glass beads made of silicon oxide which are filled with a dye in high concentration can also be used.
- a measurement of the fluorescence is also possible, the detection wavelength here being different from the one used. radiated wavelength is.
- CD drives in particular CD-ROM drives
- constructive drive modifications may be necessary in addition to a corresponding adaptation of the software.
- the invention makes it possible to write additional information on the flat side of the substrate carrying the detection fields, which information can be read out and evaluated at the same time as the detection fields. Accordingly, it is proposed that additional data fields are formed on the flat side of the substrate carrying the detection fields along the spiral line or at least one circular line, which contain measurement-sample-related and / or detection-field-related or / and evaluation-related information.
- the information relating to the measurement sample can be, for example, information about the place and time of the measurement sample being taken, the type of measurement sample or the person from whom the measurement sample was taken.
- the detection field-related information can contain molecular biological or biochemical information about the detection fields, in particular about the binder type of the individual detection fields.
- the evaluation-related information can contain information about the detection principle used to detect the analytes, such as enzymatic detection, detection via dyes, detection via metal clusters or the like. They can also contain information about which physical scanning principle a reader should use, such as an absorption measurement or a fluorescence measurement.
- the evaluation-related information can indicate to the reader the position and location of the detection fields on the substrate and thus signal to it when the reader should switch from software for reading the data fields to software for reading the detection fields.
- the evaluation-related information already contains at least parts of an evaluation software that is processed by the reader when evaluating the detection fields. In this way, the user can be relieved of tedious programming tasks for software adaptation of his computer workstation.
- the complete evaluation software can already be written into the sensor by the manufacturer, insofar as suitable software standards exist.
- detection fields and the data fields are arranged separately along the spiral line.
- detection fields and data fields may be advisable to arrange detection fields and data fields alternately along the spiral line, for example in such a way that a data field is assigned to an individual detection field or a group of detection fields, which precedes the detection field or the group of detection fields along the spiral line and the evaluation system Provides information about this detection field or this group of detection fields.
- detection fields and data fields can also be arranged alternately along at least one circular line. However, it is also conceivable that detection fields and data fields are each formed on separate circular lines.
- the data fields should expediently be able to be read from the same side of the substrate wafer as the detection fields.
- One possibility here is to introduce depressions into the flat side of the substrate bearing the detection fields in order to form the data fields, the reflector being attached in such a way that it extends into the depression.
- the coding of the data and the arrangement of the recesses are expediently carried out in accordance with a common CD format, in particular the CD-ROM format, so that the data fields can be read by means of conventional CD drives without software modifications. It is even conceivable to avoid deepening the data fields.
- By connecting optically absorbing or scattering substances to the substrate it is also possible to influence the reflection of the light beam directed at the detection and data fields for reading.
- the reflector is designed as a reflection layer applied to the substrate, the latter is only applied after all molecular biological or biochemical analysis steps have been completed, before and after measurements of the detection fields are not possible, i.e. measurements before and after the test sample is brought into contact with the detection fields.
- these reference fields can have a known reference absorption level for the light of the scanning light beam, which is typical for analyte-free detection fields and which can be distinguished from an absorption level that detection fields with analysis typically have.
- reference fields can also be formed which contain the analyte and / or marker and which, if the method is carried out correctly, serve as a positive control.
- the reference fields can also be used for calibration and quantification of the measurements. In the area of the detection fields, a reduced adhesion of the reflection layer can occur if this is applied directly to the underlying molecular biological or biochemical level.
- a cover layer made of an optically transparent material to the detection fields after the sample has been brought into contact with the detection fields before the reflection layer is applied.
- the cover layer can also be used to fix the reagents in the detection fields.
- the material and the thickness of the cover layer will be coordinated so that the optical properties of the sensor are not influenced by the cover layer, for example by focusing or absorption effects, or at least in a manageable manner.
- a polymer-based material has been shown to be suitable for the top layer. You can e.g. B. be applied as a film or by means of a spray process.
- the sensor also has depressions in data fields, it will be necessary to ensure that the depressions are not refilled by the material of the cover layer in order to avoid loss of the data information represented by the depressions.
- Spray processes are conceivable for the local application of the top layer. It is also conceivable to mentally divide the surface of the substrate wafer into segments, for example circular sectors, of which a part is reserved exclusively for detection fields and another part is reserved exclusively for data fields. The segments with data fields can then be kept very easily free of the top layer.
- the substrate with the binders immobilized on it can be packaged as a tradable unit and sent to users. It is conceivable that the manufacturer puts together a customer-specific set of binders and applies them to the substrate. It is also conceivable to apply a set of binders to a substrate in a customer-specific but application-specific manner, for example for certain genetic analyzes, and to offer this as a prepared measuring carrier. It is recommended to use this measuring carrier dry before packing and shipping. The test sample to be examined is then applied by the user, that is to say by the buyer of the measurement carrier. The same can also apply to marker-containing reagents.
- the user can apply the reflection layer and, if applicable, the cover layer after completion of the molecular biological or biochemical detection method, which can also include washing steps, provided that suitable devices are available for this. It is also conceivable that the user sends the analyte-bearing measuring carrier back to the manufacturer or to another laboratory, where these layers are applied.
- a protective layer can also be applied to the reflective layer, an acrylic-based material being suitable because of its impact and scratch resistance.
- the measuring carrier protected in this way can be stored for long periods of time and can be read out again at any time.
- the invention further relates to a measuring carrier for the detection of analytes in a measuring sample, which is particularly suitable for carrying out the method explained above.
- the invention is based on a method for the detection of analytes in a measurement sample, in which analyte-specific binders are immobilized on a disk-shaped substrate on at least one of its flat sides in a large number of detection fields, then the measurement sample in Contact is made with the detection fields and then the presence or / and the amount of the analytes to be detected is determined by evaluating the detection fields. It is provided according to the invention that the detection fields are evaluated magnetically and for this purpose binders or the analytes to be detected are marked with magnetic and / or magnetizable markers and that the detection fields are along one A plurality of concentric circular lines and / or along at least one spiral line can be arranged distributed on the substrate.
- the circular or spiral distribution of the detection fields on the substrate enables the use of commercially available magnetic disk readers, so-called hard disc drives.
- Software adaptation of the drive control may be necessary.
- the magnetic reading of the detection fields even makes it possible to form detection fields on both flat sides of the substrate, so that the packing density of the sensors with detection fields can be increased further.
- the mutual distances the size and the arrangement of the detection fields and any data and reference fields on the substrate, the information that was previously given for the optically readable sensor essentially applies.
- a fixing layer can be applied to the detection fields after the measurement sample has been brought into contact with the detection fields. This will expediently be applied to each flat side of the substrate bearing detection fields.
- a polymer-based material has proven suitable for the fixing layer.
- a magnetic layer containing magnetic and / or magnetizable particles can be applied to each flat side of the substrate carrying detection fields.
- the magnetic layer enables additional data to be written into the sensor, which can be read out together with the detection fields.
- the magnetic properties of the magnetic layer will be chosen so that the local fluctuations in the magnetic field strength or the magnetic flux density caused by the markers do not result the magnetic layer "blur" and become undetectable.
- the magnetic layer is applied directly to the substrate below the molecular biological or biochemical layer of the sensor. However, it is expedient to apply it only after the molecular biological or biochemical process steps have been completed, since it can thus also serve as a fixing layer.
- the invention further relates to a test kit for performing the method according to the first or second aspect described above.
- the test kit comprises a measuring carrier prepared with immobilized binders, reagents for carrying out the detection method, in particular optically and / or magnetically detectable detection reagents, and optionally washing or / and buffer solutions.
- the measuring carrier is preferably in dried form.
- the invention relates to the use of a measuring carrier of the type described above in an immunoassay and / or nucleic acid hybridization assay or / and lectin-sugar assay or / and protein-nucleic acid assay.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a molecular biological or biochemical sensor ("biosensor”) according to the invention with detection and data fields and
- Fig. 2 shows schematically the distribution of the detection and data fields on the biosensor.
- the biosensor is generally designated 1. It has the shape of a circular disk. Its size suitably corresponds to that of a conventional one Compact disc, the diameter of which is usually about 1 2 cm.
- the biosensor 1 comprises a carrier substrate 3, which is made of an optically transparent material, preferably polycarbonate. Detection fields 5, 7 and data fields 9 are formed on the upper flat side of the substrate 3 in FIG. 1. Information about the measurement sample and / or about the detection fields and / and about the evaluation is stored in the data fields 9. As with conventional CDs, the information in the data fields 9 is represented by alternating recessed regions 11 and non-recessed regions 13 of the substrate 3.
- each detection field 5, 7 carries a plurality of binders 1 5 of the same or different types.
- the detection field 7 represents a detection field, to which no analytes have adhered after the measurement sample has come into contact with the detection fields 5, 7.
- the detection field 5 represents a detection field to which analytes have adhered.
- the detection fields 5, 7 are embedded in a cover layer 19, which is applied only in the regions of the substrate 3 which carry the detection fields 5, 7, but not in the areas of the substrate 3 which carry the data fields 9.
- the cover layer 19 also consists of an optically transparent material, preferably a polymer material. It fixes the markers on the substrate 3 and at the same time serves as an adhesion promoter between the substrate 3 and a reflection layer 21, which is applied to the substrate 3 over a wide area, extends across all detection fields 5, 7 and all data fields 9 and into the depressions 11 of the data fields 9 reaches into it.
- the reflection layer 21 is preferably made of aluminum, but can also consist of silver, for example, and is more expediently generated by chemical vapor deposition.
- the reflection layer 21 serves as a reflector for the light of a laser beam 23, which is directed onto the biosensor 1 from the underside of the substrate 3 for reading out the detection fields 5, 7 and the data fields 9.
- the reflected light is evaluated using common methods. For example, it is separated from the incident light by means of a polarization filter and then evaluated for its intensity.
- the material of the substrate 3 advantageously has such a refractive index that the laser beam 23 is focused on its way in the substrate 3, so that the light spot ultimately incident on the detection fields 5, 7 and the data fields 9 can be kept very small.
- the biosensor 1 is closed off by a flat top layer 25 which protects the biosensor 1 against harmful chemical or mechanical influences. It preferably consists of an acrylic material.
- Fig. 2 shows a section of two successive turns of the spiral line. The latter is shown in Fig. 2 as a dashed line and designated 27. With d is also the radial distance between the two turns, ie the spiral pitch. For example, it is approximately 1.6 ⁇ m.
- the depressions 11, which can have graduated variable circumferential lengths when using the coding customary for CDs, in particular CD-ROMs, are, for example, approximately 0.5 ⁇ m wide in the radial direction.
- the detection fields 5, 7 are also designed to be radially narrow enough that there is a sufficient distance from the fields of the adjacent spiral turns.
- the detection fields 5, 7 can also be about 0.5 ⁇ m wide. With such a dimensioning, "fraying" can easily be made be taken, which is frequently observed in the enzymatic detection of the analytes adhering to the detection fields 5.
- the detection fields 5, 7 can be elongated in the circumferential direction, so that they can be formed with a sufficiently large total area. Also in the circumferential direction, the detection fields 5, 7 will have a sufficient distance from one another and from the data fields 9.
- Reading out the data and detection fields CD drives with a spot diameter of the laser beam 23 of approximately 2 ⁇ m can be used.
- Applications can vary according to the nature of the immobilized binding partner (A), the analyte-specific binding agent, and the nature of its "ligand", i.e. H. of the analyte (B).
- Nucleic acids and / or proteins are preferably used as interaction partners, but other partners of specific binding pairs, such as lectins or sugar, can also be used.
- the receptors or analytes are preferably derivatized with a biotin group, the biotin group then advantageously being detected with a streptavidin-enzyme conjugate, such as horseradish peroxidase.
- a streptavidin-enzyme conjugate such as horseradish peroxidase.
- the substrate of the enzyme reaction is selected in such a way that an intense, dark precipitate forms at the site of the molecular interaction, which squeezes the detection laser.
- the detection can also be carried out by directly derivatizing an interaction partner with a fluorochrome in combination with a suitable laser.
- the receptor (A) is an RNA aptamer, a peptide or a natural or synthetic effector molecule and the analyte (B) is a protein.
- the properties of an enzyme or regulatory factor in gene expression are often modulated by the association of small effector or ligand molecules.
- small effector or ligand molecules One example is hormone receptors, which are converted into an active conformation after binding to the hormone. Protein function can be modulated by interaction of a substrate analog or by allosteric effectors. In order to identify suitable small chemicals, screening procedures for ligands are carried out, with a large number of different chemicals being examined.
- RNA aptamers or peptides can be screened, either isolated or incorporated into a fusion protein, for interactions with a protein in question.
- the receptor (A) is a protein and the analyte (B) is a nucleic acid or a ligant.
- Protein libraries can be used for certain binding properties, e.g. B. the interaction with a defined DNA sequence become.
- Duplicated measuring carriers which contain defined regions of proteins, which together represent the products of a cDNA expression library, can be characterized with specific ligands or DNA binding sites.
- the arranged proteins can be unknown as they are in the library and can only be assigned by the method according to the invention.
- regions of known proteins or derivatives of a defined protein, such as the product of a random mutagenesis can be examined.
- the receptor (A) is a DNA or RNA and the analyte (B) is a protein.
- a large number of different double-stranded DNA fragments can be applied to the detection fields. These can either be small fragments, for example oligonucleotides, or larger DNA fragments up to very large DNA sections, which represent an ordered library of genomic DNA fragments.
- the applications include the systematic search for possible genomic binding sites for DNA binding proteins, but also other DNA binding molecules can be detected, such as intercalators, small molecules with preference for certain sequences, PNAs and sequences that form a triple helix.
- RNA molecules can be applied as receptor molecules in the detection fields, such as the transcripts of a cDNA library or the derivatives of a defined RNA, such as the product of a random mutagenesis.
- the receptor (A) is a single-stranded DNA and the analyte (B) is a single-stranded DNA or RNA.
- Example 2.1
- measuring carriers according to the invention can be produced which contain entire genomes in ordered arrays or areas. This makes it possible to assign a cloned piece of DNA to its genomic localization in a single hybridization step and, depending on the resolution of the array (which is a function of the mean sequence length and the number of individual DNA molecules), even to identify the gene itself.
- Arrays or ranges of diagnostic oligonucleotides which represent all known genes of a given species, allow the direct identification of a gene in question.
- a gene in question e.g. B. cDNA arrays from Klontech or the DNA chips from Affimetrix, on which all yeast genes are applied, can be improved by transferring them to the measuring carriers according to the invention.
- the expression profile can be examined by applying DNA to the measurement carrier according to the invention which shows all the genes of an organism.
- a complex mixture of RNA which represents the expression state of a specific cell or a cDNA population derived therefrom, is applied to the measuring carrier.
- the state of expression ascertained on the measuring carrier can easily be compared with the state of expression of other cells which originate from other tissues, represent other stages of development or other stages of metabolism.
- DNA samples can be examined which represent certain selected DNA states, such as cell cycle genes, signal transmitter components etc. Since the measuring carriers according to the invention can be stored for a long time, expression profiles can be created which can be archived and used for comparison purposes.
- the method of the invention can be used to diagnose common and rare DNA polymorphisms, including mapping mutations in proto-oncogenes that cause common tumors.
- a suitable measuring carrier contains overlaying oligonucleotides which together comprise an entire gene (e.g. the wild-type sequence) together with oligonucleotides which contain all possible or frequently occurring mutations of this sequence.
- the corresponding DNA fragment is isolated from patients by PCR and hybridized to the relevant gene measuring support under conditions under which the hybridization takes place only if there is a perfect sequence match.
- a comparison of the hybridization of the experimental DNA to wild-type or mutant oligonucleotides makes it possible to determine exactly what type of mutation occurs in a sequence.
- the method according to the invention can also be used in applications which involve more extensive treatments of the Measurement carriers require, such as PCR amplification, which is carried out analogously to in situ PCR amplifications. Infectious agents can also be detected in this way.
